It doesnt take long for the single ladies to swoop in.

But Don Crowder knows what he has to do.
And finally, the moment arrives.
Candy takes the stand.
She is reluctant, but boy oh boy does she put on a performance.
Betty refused to accept this answer and went to the utility room to retrieve an ax.
Candy thought it is over and apologized as Betty shoved her into the utility room and attacked her.
The women struggled and only paused when they heard the baby crying.
She left and went to the church and on with her day and her life.
That’s her story and she’s sticking to it.
Candys performance on the stand is quite striking.
